I, for one, believe he's more hype than substance and at 31, we can get a younger (and cheaper) option than Jason David 2.0 or P.Rob Sr....

Well said sir, I couldn't agree more, would rather take my chances with a younger person than a over hyped Nnamdi.

You have it the wrong way round, He is an excellent man coverage corner which is what he played every season in Oakland, Philly forced him into a zone coverage scheme and it didn't work
Kind of difficult for a guy thats played man coverage 90% of the time for 9 seasons to go to zone coverage every game for 2 years

Just look at what happened with our corners last year, Greer was a decent man corner and looked completely lost in Spags zone defense...

This. Nnamdi is a big, physical man corner who tackles well. Speaking from personal experience, when you prefer man and have to play zone it takes the aggression out of you.

I am excited.

I think Loonies is about to make it happen

Y! SPORTS

Was he just in a bad system over the past few years.

Sign Nnamdi and say good bye to Greer, what a shame.

ChrisXVI · 03-17-2013, 12:40 PM

Because we can't have Greer, Keenan Lewis and Nnamdi on the field at the same time LOL. Come on, it would be a great signing... It's Patrick Robinson that would be riding the pine and that isn't a bad thing.
